Ginger or brown?

[recklessruby]

Would you say this is ginger or brown? Just stripped out my old dark colour and tried to go natural.
Dd says brown. Ds wouldn't notice if I grew a sunflower out of my head and i think its gone ginger.
I used to have reddish hair as a kid

It looks ginger towards the roots and browner towards the ends

Yep ginger roots and then turns brown.

Oh dear. I was hoping for brown . I have been dyeing it dark brown for months but just stripped colour out. Back to the chemist I go....

Be careful.

Virtually all permanent and semi-permanent box dyes contain peroxide, which is why your hair isn't the colour you expected it to be after stripping.

Also, chemically stripping the colour can cause the hair to become more absorbant, so any dye you try now will probably 'take' extremely well and cause more mayhem.

Home stripping won't work.

Don't re-dye it! 🙁 It's a fantastic colour!!!!

It’s “brown with a hint of romance“

Auburn and fabulous. Do not dye it!

I started dyeing it originally as i didnt like the red colour (my mum loved it) and its been all sorts so I thought I will get rid of the dark dye and see what happens.
The lockdown boredom got to me.

Its lovely

It’s a gorgeous auburn nearer the roots. Am with your mum, love the colour.

I love that!

OP your hair colour looks a bit like mine. And I’m red.

What's wrong with ginger?

Why would you dye that? It’s glorious. Google Jessica Chastain.

Ginger fading to brown

Also what you cant see is i have a nose covered in freckles so look a bit different to pale face/dark hair pre lockdown. I m back at work on Monday.

That's what happens when you use colour B4 or whatever hair stripper. Forget the technical reasons, a hair colourist came on here once and explained it.

But thanks ladies I think I may start to embrace the red

I may be wrong but my understanding of those hair strippers was that they lift ALL pigment from your hair, including your natural colour

It gradually goes darker after a while, it happened to my hair when I stripped it once.

Yes it was colour B4

Why the chuff would you want to change that? It's a lovely reddish brown. Leave it!

I’d say Ginger

I can see a hint of ginger - but whatever you call it I think it's lovely and would be beyond happy if mine was the same colour.

More ginger than brown - it’s a lovely colour
